Wally's POV

11:26 PM, Jolly Roger deck

Wally? Artemis? Are you there? A sweet feminine voice called out.

The names created a painful pang in my chest, and my head darted around to the voice. It was not just me who heard it, but everyone was glancing around for the owner.

I can feel your minds. They are very faint. Can you hear me? It's me, M'gann.

"M'gann?" I wondered aloud.

Oh! I heard you, Wally. Are you all right? Where's Artemis?
Was she talking to me? I tested, "Artemis? W—Who?"

You probably don't remember. Look for the girl with the long blonde hair.

My eyes immediately fell on Wendy. She looked at me, confused.

"Um, who are you?" She said aloud, looking nervous if not determined.

Arty! She shrieked, making everyone throw their hands over their ears. Thank goodness! I'm so glad you found each other, if you hadn't…Well, we can talk about it later.

"Ma'am? My name is Peter." I announced. "I don't know Wally."

Hmm. Peter, eh? Alright, but I can tell your Wally. You've got the same cognitive signals.

If she were standing here, I would have given her the most confused eyebrow-raise ever. "Thanks?"

I'm so glad I finally figured out how to get through the mind block. Listen to me Wally. And Artemis. That's your names, and I'm going to try and pull you out from there. Think about your lives—your real lives. As teenage superheroes under the Justice League. She demanded urgently, the words echoing in my mind. It was making it hard to think about anything but the resonations.

Justice League? I thought. My name is Wally? I turned to look at Wendy. She was staring at the golden deck, eyes narrowed in thought.

"Wendy…" I said uncertainly.

She glanced at me, eyes unsure. "Peter…Wally."

There was something about this girl, this tough, beautiful girl, saying that name—something about her made it register within me, and some kind of explosion went off in my head. Its echoes made my hair stand on end.

My mind collapsed inward, and what felt like a film was removed from my foggy brain.

"Ah!" I exclaimed, biting down on my lip. I examined the ship with renewed eyes. The eyes of Wally West.

Artemis's POV

11:28 PM, Jolly Roger deck

"Wally!" I shouted, just as the final percussions of the brain implosion faded. I ran to him, just as he ran at me. He got there faster—he was speeding. We crashed and ended up as a tangle of limbs on the floor. He was cupping my cheeks and kissing my forehead and my heart was singing with happiness and I was trying to hold back tears. We made it! We made it together!

"I know. I know." He kept whispering, and I realized I'd been saying it out loud.

Oh, you guys are okay! M'gann squealed, her voice interrupting our moment.

"Who was with us this time?" I whispered, grinning. Our foreheads were together; I couldn't look away from those green eyes.

"I don't know." He whispered back, face locked on mine. "Should we check?"

I closed my eyes. "Yeah. Sure."

We helped each other stand as the whole crew and tribe, the lost boys and the mermaids, stared.

"Look! Hook—he's Batman!" I exclaimed, my finger darting at him. "He looks pretty good without the mask."

"W—what?" Batman asked, his gaze guarded and confused. He was on the floor, holding his punctured hand. But he didn't seem to be in pain.

Remember, these are not the real people—just characters in the story filled in with those you know in reality, M'gann reminded.

"So how do we get home?" I asked.

I'm reaching for you now. Hold on, you may feel a painful tug.

"Great," Wally muttered, but he was still grinning at me. His face became momentarily solemn. "You know what I'm gonna miss? Flying."

I snorted. "Yeah, me too. That was my first taste of a superpower. At least you have super speed."

He knocked his shoulder against mine. "You don't need a superpower to be awesome."

That warmed me to the bone. I clutched his hand as there was a painful jerk and everything faded into a starless night.

…

…

I awoke in the hospital ward of Mount Justice, just like last time. Like last time, Wally was a few feet away, tucked into his own cot, asleep.

Should I wake him? I'd feel kind of bad, but there was no one around and I wanted to talk.

"Wally," I whispered. "Wally…" I hissed, louder this time.

His eyes twitched, then opened. They focused on me. "Hey there."

"Hey yourself. Sorry I woke you; I just wanted to…talk." It sounded a bit lame, and I ended up trailing.

He turned on his side, smiling at me. "So…Peter Pan."

I sighed with the memory. "Flying was nice."

He got out of the bed with ease, considering we weren't hooked to any wires. I opened the covers and he lay down beside me, our fingers tangling.

We stared at each other a few minutes in silence. I was in the process of memorizing every freckle on his face when he chuckled.

"What?"
"I don't know if you remember—no, I know you remember. You were trying to tell me what a kiss was."

I felt a warm blush creep up my neck. "Well, erm, uh, you know. I was Wendy, and you were Mr. Innocent-Little-Peter-Pan."

He smiled. "So would you've kissed me?"

"Oh, I wanted to." I mumbled.

His smile grew wider. "Then we'll have to make up for it."

I mock-frowned. "Yeah? And how do you suppose we do that?"

"Like this," And he proceeded to give me one of those great, tingle-all-the-way-to-your-toes kisses that left me breathless.
